Rio de Janeiro, early 1970s. The Paiva family live a full and happy life in a house by the beach. One day, however, everything is turned upside-down when the military junta abducts the father. Director Walter Salles (Central Station, The Motorcycle Diaries) based his heartbreaking film on memoirs written by the son of the seven-member family. »An engrossing, affecting tribute to a formidable woman and her family.« – Screen Daily. »A gripping, profoundly touching film with a deep well of pathos. It’s one of Salles’ best.« – The Hollywood Reporter. Oscar for Best International Feature Film.
